Zeppelin was Pagan Viking Rock cross-trained with the Blues. Neither of these cultural sources would tolerate stoopid hippie hand-holding mandancing at all.

The Bluesman probably SOLD HIS SOUL to Satan, whereas the average aikidoka sold his soul to compliant training.

And the Viking will gobble shrooms, turn into a bear, and EAT YOUR SOUL.

In fact, in the Immigrant Song, they specifially diss "peace and trust" in dealing with marauding barbarians.

Way of the BearShirt > Way of Harmony. Aikido loses again.

Let's not kid ourselves. Zeppelin is super cool but it has its share of low life smelly hippies that like it. But many of us see the greater meaning ...

I was at an Aikido seminar today. The first hour - A veteran LE sandan showing Aikido controls applied to law enforcement. Got to try them against resisting opponents while grappling. This made me appreciate the martial roots of Aikido - a rare thing it seems..

This was followed up by a California hippie sensei ... I won't speak of what happened there ... I need to talk to a therapist first ... I just wanted to do 10 hours of Judo randori to cleans myself. The hippie sensei had a large entourage of long haired weird beards in tow. I don't like hippies.
